Fantasy Football: Who To Start, Sit For Week 2

Week 2 of the NFL season is an important one for all 32 NFL teams but is also a vital one for fantasy football owners across the country.

We all know how dire the stats are for NFL teams that start off 0-2 when it comes to their playoff chances and you can be certain those statistics are relatively similar for your team if you fall into an 0-2 hole to start the year.

So here to help you either climb out of your 0-1 hole and avoid a disastrous 0-2 start, or turn your Week 1 win into an early season winning streak in Week 2, are the fantasy football experts from CBS Sports: Nick Kostos, Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard.

There are a few guys, according to Eisenberg and Richard, that are must starts and there are some guys you’ll want to stash on the bench for this week.

Bryan Altman is, for some reason, an unabashed fan of the Rangers, Jets and Mets. If he absolutely had to pick a basketball team it would be the Knicks, but he’d gladly trade them for a championship for any of his other three teams.
